IDesperate for help to find her adopted son, Jeremiah, Linden Avery has resurrected Thomas Covenant in a cataclysmic exertion of Earthpower and wild magic. But the consequences of her efforts are more terrible than she could have imagined. Sorcery on that scale has awakened the Worm of the World's End: the ultimate end of all Time, and therefore of all life, has been set in motion. And on a more personal level, the results are no less extreme. The stress of reincarnation so many centuries after his death has fractured Covenant's mind. He cannot tell Linden where to find her son. And his leprosy has renewed its grip on him, inexorably killing his nerves.The Ranyhyn had tried to warn her.Now, plunged to depths of desperation… Read More

The first title in a major new series from NavyBooks chronicling all warships built in the Royal Dockyard since 1860. In August 1689 the Admiralty raised the possibility of building a dry dock somewhere within the Devonport harbour limits. From its inception, ships were being refitted in the new Dockyard and within twelve months, the first two Devonport Warships built had been launched. Many, many more followed - including some illustrious and historic names HMS ROYAL OAK, HMS WARSPITE and HMS EXETER. The last warship to be launched at Devonport was the frigate HMS SCYLLA, launched in 1968 and completed in 1969. The last large vessel to come off the slip was the Research Vessel Crystal, launched in 1971. Lt Cdr Ken Burns published the first edition of this book in 1981 - this revised, updated and reformatted edition includes new images, more details and extended captions for every warship built in the dockyard since 1860. A reference book for the enthusiast and generalist to enjoy. 200 pages with over… Read More

Fine : Near Mint Book and wrapper. except for name dedication. SIGNED BY HARLAND WALSHAW.
Devon's churches are famous for their craftsmanship, particularly their wood carving; they also feature the finest collection of mediaeval screens. Devon's Churches includes double-page features on 80 major churches with 100 further churches listed in lesser detail. In researching this book author John Lane and photographer Harland Walshaw visited well over 200 Devon churches, with John providing detailed descriptions and Harland the stunning black and white photographs of their details, everything from bench ends to stained glass windows. The history of Devon is told in its churches, including the chapels and aisles built by the wool trade. Church visiting takes you deep into the parts of rural Devon you might never otherwise visit, not only into the wilds of Exmoor and Dartmoor, but into the heart of rural East Devon, and deep into the banked lanes and steep river valleys. This is a pilgrimage through the… Read More

Very Good Book and wrapper. Signed by the auhhor ( Roy Hattersley ) on the title page.irst edition. HB. Cloth and dustjacket. 520pp. B/w photos in plates. Signed by the author under title. The author sees the Edwardian age as one of great change, the start of modern Britain; social and political history. Edwardian Britain is the quintessential age of nostalgia, often seen as the last long summer afternoon before the cataclysmic changes of the twentieth century began to take form. The class system remained rigidly in place and thousands were employed in domestic service. The habits and sports of the aristocracy were an everyday indulgence. But it was an age of invention as well as tradition. It saw the first widespread use of the motor car, the first aeroplane and the first use of the telegraph. It was also a time of vastly improved education and the public appetite for authors such as Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling and E. M. Forster was increased by greater literacy. There were signs too,… Read More
